12 December 2012 – San Francisco: Gyde.ly (www.gyde.ly) an event guide app provider, is partnering with FunMaps (www.funmaps.com) publisher of the most widely used gay and lesbian publication in the U.S., to create a holiday gift for the LGBT movement. For 2013, Gyde.ly and FunMaps will provide a free event guide app to any LGBT event benefiting LGBT nonprofit organizations.
“Events are an important component of the LGBT movement. Gatherings like San Francisco Pride help raise awareness and funds for the cause,” said Shane Mayer, Gyde.ly Director of Sales and Marketing. “Gyde.ly is pleased to partner with FunMaps to provide complimentary apps for events benefiting the LGBT movement. Our guide apps enhance events and create a new revenue opportunity for event producers.”
“For over 25 years, we have provided our guides to the LGBT community. We are delighted to partner with Gyde.ly to cover the cost of apps for LGBT events,” said Alan H. Beck, Publisher and President of FunMaps.
Gyde.ly produced the first ever mobile app guide for San Francisco Pride this year. SF Pride is one of the largest Pride gatherings in the world, and the second largest public event in California. Gyde.ly helped SF Pride generate $5,000 in new revenue through their app.
Event organizers who sell sponsored activities inside their guide app generate extra revenue. They also can provide timely updates to participants at their events. LGBT event organizers should contact Gyde.ly at www.gyde.ly/lgbt for their free app.
